This would be great information if it had some nutritional information. I estimated about 500g calories, 88 cargbs, 8g fat, 14g protein, 523g sodium, 22g sugar. This might be useful to someone whos diabetic for instance.

I think the point if this diet is so don’t have to worry about all that even as a diabetic. I’ve never seen a fat vegan myself. If you eat correctly and stay away from simple sugars and oils you’ll never have to worry about the macros.

Franco, I think it is important to explain that plant strong is not Vegan. Plant Strong removes oils as well as processed foods, while Vegans continue to consume these products as long as an animal has not been effected by it. I’m certain there are plenty of fat Vegans, as a Vegan diet can be as harmful and unhealthy as the SAD (Standard American Diet) is. Yet, eating a Whole Food Plant Based Diet or Plant Strong removes all those fattening and harmful items that Vegans and the SAD consumers eat.

Franco

Looks pretty vegan to me. People in general no matter what diet or way of eating you choose, should stay away from processed foods and oils or refined fat as i call them. It’s no different then sugar. You refine it a strip vital nutrients and enzymes out of it, it’s ready for storage from the minute you consume it. If you eliminate all the refinement and eat plant based foods you will not get fat. It’s the garbage vegans eat that makes them fat.

And if you don’t stay away from all that, guess what, you have a fat vegan, as I am one and have seen plenty of them!!! I have to get back to basics with Esseltyn, as when I first went vegan, I was a committed, extreme vegan and lost 70 lbs. Without counting ANYTHING or portioning anything. It’s quite amazing if you do it right, and if you do it wrong, and you can…. it’s not good, nor is it healthy!
